About
Dr. Shailja Kumari is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Life Sciences at Mandsaur University, India, with expertise in mycology, plant pathology, and myco-nanotechnology. Her research focuses on the application of fungal biotechnology for sustainable agriculture, particularly in the development of eco-friendly strategies for plant disease management and crop improvement.
She completed her doctoral research on the green synthesis of metal nanoparticles using fungal metabolites and their application against plant pathogens, integrating advanced techniques such as molecular characterization, GC-MS analysis, and nanomaterial characterization (TEM, SEM, XRD, and FTIR). Her work also explores the interface of bioinformatics and plant disease control.
Dr. Kumari has published research articles in reputed Scopus and Web of Science indexed journals and has contributed as a book editor. She was awarded the Young Scientist Award (2024) by the Microbiological Association for Science and Technology Development (MASD). She has also guided postgraduate students in research projects and actively contributes to the scientific community as a peer reviewer.
Her broader research interests include fungal nanobiotechnology, biocontrol strategies, sustainable agriculture, and translational research aimed at developing innovative solutions with potential for commercialization and startup development.
